The hotel description said there was free parking, but they didn’t give us any. The hotel has no parking, and I’m surprised no one from Booking checked that. The rooms were too small.

The hotel is comfortable and the location is great. Most of the staff are very welcoming and helpful, but the breakfast staff were not very friendly and the breakfast itself was average. The cleaning was lacking, especially in the bathroom.

The accommodation feels very family‑friendly and cozy, with a restaurant on site and the food was delicious. The only downside was that the room felt a bit small for me.

The location is good. There was no cleaning for a whole week; towels and toilet paper were constantly asked for. Breakfast was just okay, with limited spreads and the same bread over and over. The variety was poor.

We liked the staff—MUHAMMAD, USMAN, and MARWA were all very helpful. We were initially unhappy with the room because we were three people, but when we asked for a change to a room with a single bed they swapped it in just seconds. The location is excellent, with the bazaar and mosque nearby. Thanks again.
